Re-purposing an old T-shirt is a fantastic way to expand your wardrobe while keeping old clothes out of the landfill. It is surprisingly easy to convert a T-shirt into a tube top with no sewing required. Visit your local thrift store to find a large selection of gently used T-shirts that promote just about anything you can think of. Choose solid colors to mix and match, or select shirts with intriguing designs or logos. Raid you own closet for shirts that no longer fit, or just need a little updating.

Apply a piece of masking tape across the shirt at the armpits.

Cut the shirt through both layers of the shirt along the middle of the tape.

Remove all tape from the shirt. Now you are left with two large rectangles of fabric.
